Colour measurement of high-visibility clothing according to DIN EN ISO 20471
Reflective high-visibility clothing must meet certain criteria in terms of colour and luminosity in order to be certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 20471 >. In particular, the properties of the material must withstand certain stress tests during production. However, it must also be checked during use, after each cleaning, whether the colour and luminosity properties comply with DIN EN ISO 20471.
HunterLabs MiniScan EZ and ColorFlex EZ devices provide straightforward yet highly accurate measurements to ensure that the colour quality of high visibility garments meets the standard before they leave the factory or dry cleaner to provide adequate protection to the wearer in hazardous areas.

Application example:
In addition to the size and shape of the clothing and the position of the retroreflective stripes, the DIN EN ISO 20471 standard for high-visibility clothing also specifies the requirements for the color and luminosity of the material. These must be met in particular after various test procedures with regard to stress and ageing, as well as in use after each cleaning, before delivery. Both the portable MiniScan EZ (4500L) handheld device and the ColorFlex EZ laboratory device from HunterLab are ideal for measuring the color of high-visibility clothing. These double-beam spectrophotometers have a 45°/0° measuring geometry in accordance with the standard and can output the measured values...
